It was a cool 60F humid night at Atco. Heres my best of the night..

60ft-2.132
1/8-8.570
mph-84.66
1k-11.059
1/4-13.149
mph-108.65

I had 1/2 tank of gas. With better traction 12s is possible. Alot of guys question me what I got done to it.Overall I'm happy with the time

Good job! Should be able to get that 60ft down and you'll make 13.0 pretty easy. I'm headed to the track again tonight to finish off the year.

Jons95c36amg

Thanks! I figure with a 1.9 60ft also with less gas I will be into the 12s close to 110trap.

nice

maybe we should go to e-town and runs our cars again

blackbenzz

Nice run! You gotta work on that 60'

ashutt

Excellent runs. It looks like we have several people taking advantage of the cooler weather to post good times. Did you do you runs in manual or automatic mode? Please post more information regarding your launch and shifting for others learning. Thanks.

Jons95c36amg

I was in manual mode had to if left in auto it hits the rev limiter Shifted at 5k rpm. I took off from idle and feathered the gas.

AMS Performance

what tires are you running? You should be able to get into the 12s easy. Those W208 CLk55s are heavily underrated for sure.

Jons95c36amg

Kumho Ecsta ASX all season ZR rated stock size. I need drag radials

Chappy

Looks like you can break into the 12s with a solid launch.

AMS Performance

Thats your problem. 245 stock rating is way too small. You can easily run 265-275s on your car. Also upgrade rubber, Kuhmo ASX are NOT a true performance tire. I HIGHLY recommend the Dunlap Direzza Z1 star spec, they are possibly the best tire ever made (I'm not joking). They grip even better in my old kuhmo MXs in the dry and have stiffer stronger sidewalls for improved handling feedback. You won't be disappointed, plus for 17" wheels they are dirt cheap. hope that helps.

Jons95c36amg

I was thinking about wider tires but wouldnt 265-275 stick out and look silly?

Improviz

No. I ran both on mine. You do need to upgrade to wider rims, though...widest you can stick on the stockers are 255s afaik. I had upgraded my rear rims to stock W210 E55 rims, which match the pattern of the stockers but would fit the 265s or 275s.

It looked fine...don't forget, Corvettes came stock w/17s up front, 18s in back.

Thanks good to know!

ProjectC55

Wow then that means my car will run 12.8's at over 110mph at Atco. It's a fast track by the way. Do it at E-town.

ProjectC55

Wow Impro! Yo can fit 275 18's on the back of your CLK without rubbing? Did you have to roll the rear?
Seems like on a C43 the widest one can go even with rolling the fenders on 18's are 265's I believe.
